Foundation years

Stephen J. Carey, Consultant Psychiatrist

Stratheden Hospital, Cupar KY15 5RR

I am pleased that the new foundation years for junior doctor training are happening so soon, and that psychiatry is to be included in the second foundation year (Carey, 2000). It is, however, important that all psychiatric specialties are included in rotational schemes, and not only adult psychiatry, as I have heard suggested.

Just as time spent in old age medicine and paediatrics would be valuable – and not only time spent in adult medicine – so experience in old age psychiatry, child psychiatry or learning disability would provide a useful grounding for the future careers of junior doctors.
